1-0 and we lost the bet, but Bahia were lucky not to lose as it turned out, outshot and out-chanced, but not outscored. Lovely string of losses but that doesn't put us off, does it?

More misery for United at Craven Cottage, and a surprise win for BVB in Der Klassiker are my acca for the weekend -- follow a streak and break another?

100 units on Fulham and BVB to WIN @11.68 (the odds aren't wrong, United are that bad). Other odds: 11.55. Units advantage: 13

Yeah tennis and football, depending on age of courts/fields, there are min and max standards but not everyone has the same. I remember Highbury the most as the shortest -- people frequently felt they were running out of grass!

Anyway, damn. Sinner withdrew, that lack of rest thing you guys talking about, I don't get it either.

I face down another point loss as Tsitsi actually make it through, it appears the best I can hope for now is a draw if Djoker pulls through later. Doesn't look good to lose to Div1 new faces so I'll be looking to improve when Cro2 mafia comes to town. Is it me or are all of us having tough rounds? Ignoring Kokee's 10 goals scored.

Must have read it wrong before... I see now that it's the chief baseball officer who's going to get a new face. Now I'm looking, 30/1 doesn't really sound so attractive, to be honest, but I'll hit it if it gets to 50/1.

@casperBGD @famososMuertos I like this wild card concept for sure, it's really the type of format that I prefer, giving a chance for underdogs and giving great value to my style of outrights. As I mentioned earlier, the winner had rather worse winning percentages than others. I know there are big arguments for rewarding consistency but wild cards amp up the randomness -- me likey.

^ So nothing's changed at all then (nett result is same as ever before). For some odd reason, my first season of MajSev is still my best, really made a killing on huge multiplier accas on UCL back when Liverpool were doing tremendously well. Too bad I don't remember much of those details. Bitcoin price then also made the BTC amount attractive.

FJ: Still looking for the return of 4+1. That's really the promo I took advantage of the most

a.  Dortmund
b.  3-2
c.  Dortmund

h. 23'

Game 1:  25, 31'
Game 2:  25, 32'
Game 3:  25, 45'

^ Opportunity Volendam? Ha! They managed 3 attempts against the shittiest Ajax you'll see in your lifetime and allowed them to try 26 times by the time it became 2-0 moments ago.

I think Eredivisie can now curse Volendam for breathing new life into the Luckys... if Ajax turn their season around, it will be tonight that serves as the turning point. Bah.

My picks in. I went boring =) England, Spain, Italy largely avoided upsets in their cups but we saw a number fall in Germany huh.


Or, it galvanises Bayern into ensuring they don't lose back-to-back games. They rested plenty of ket players, too in their loss last night, so while it in no way excuses their loss, it's all the more reason to believe they'll be too strong and too motivated for BVB. I've withdrawn my intentions, pending odds update, but yeah, last night's results make me doubt the upset now. Maybe if Sportsbet trumps the odds to 5/1 eh?

Back home I used to hear stories of people who'd go out and buy the most expensive bike they could afford after getting a windfall... and then not having enough money to buy petrol so the bike becomes a showpiece they just walk around with haha.

Nice that we can openly discuss our corruption and everyone lets us go

Don't worry, plenty of points left to play for. I have a bad feeling about this round, already down 1 point for trusting NZ twice in a row... leea is last year's Div2 champ too.


I feel like this could be something to consider actually. Could complicate but why not a portion of Div2 prizes set aside for paid participants? The more pay, the bigger the portion from overall Div2?

NOT go the Full Distance 6

Congratulations on the win, Always nice to wrap things up so quickly. Probably not "usual for things to get done and dusted so soon hm?

Also, I didn't know this but it's also their maiden WS -- I'll be on the lookout now for pre-season odds on the remaining teams (Seattle, Milwaukee, San Diego, Colorado, Tampa Bay) who've never won it before, or is that wishful thinking?

Looking at stats without even understanding, Tampa Bay looked really impressive just shy of 100 wins in the season (Rangers only had 90, Arizona only 84!). BoSox always gets my nostalgic pick, they're getting a new manager yeah?

Good on Sportsbet to recognise what a big deal Der Klassiker is. I know where my money is on that game )no surprise where it always is on this tie haha) but the odds have rarely been this good. As for picks, though, I'm not sure I can risk the upset with a freebet on the line It is on, cygan!

P.S. OT but Freiburg just fell to old boys Paderborn. I wonder if it really is time for me to fold on picking them all the time.

Just popping in to say thank you for the Halloween gift to CG =) I don't really play much anymore these days but I make sure to participate in every Bitcoin lottery draw (quite a number of single ticket wins there already for me, maybe a record setter at some point?).


Don't see them bringing it back (but hey, happy to be proven wrong). Enjoy the memories and appreciate you were part of it. Was also part of it -- every coin I had had a hand. I remember the day some guy dumped 60 BTC and lost -- the biggest single jump in my investment bankroll!

I actually tried looking for the article under news yesterday but thought it wasn't there (though should say different things show up for me depending on device/location) but maybe I was too early Now I see I missed it because the title said Season 2...

Anyway, it seems my payout to CLS63 worked, Sheriff didn't catch it, mafia didn't catch it.

Good to see fewer and fewer no shows. I personally think we should alert Div 3 people a few hours before. Only to assume they're not yet as seasoned as us who have Tuesday evenings burned into our brains? I note that there is some thinking to be done about fairness but perhaps a bit more coddling is necessary -- yes, the attentive ones lose their edge, but maybe it's a good sacrifice to try and keep things competitive?

For a bit I got really confused here because you both said you got yellow caps (then I saw it myself). Actually thought I had a pretty decent round but I go see Superbru and my dreams are dashed -- behind you both by 2 points.

Very good round for you and me then entebah, I'm actually in Top 10 now hooray. Typical, as usual, to be performing in the league I'm currently watching/following the least this season.

You know what's news? Last year's champion, Harkorede is 3rd. From bottom. Sorry Harko =p

Scalability? I think that's been solved. Years ago. That was why that whole "civil war" happened. Lightning to me is the solution -- adoption (which relies also on ease of use and desire) is outside the point. Bitcoin was the solution for independent money, its adoption is outside the point.

It's privacy, really, that's the immediate focus of Bitcoin. It's what I can tell as an outside normie observer.

A bit of a close match, reflected by the scoreline, but I guess post-summer2023 Freiburg is not pre-summer Freiburg after all. We return to Brasil for some goodfeel pinings, that was the scene of our last non-continental away win, and I think there's value when 8th place takes on 15th place... and odds are inflated as is the case today with Fluminense taking on Bahia. I understand why they're the underdogs as they have Copa Libertadores final on Sunday but that's no reason to not win tonight to build momentum, no?

100 units on Fluminense to WIN vs Bahia @8.26. Other odds: 7.90. Units advantage: 36

That was a nice round, typical I forgot my picks heh heh. Not going to miss out again due to negligence so put next picks in early.


Yeah, that was an absolutely achievable amount and I still fancy my chances. The $1000 value is very high +EV, I only have myself to blame for missing a few rounds. Next round is tasty, many "sure" picks including Salah, Son, Watkins. I'm even counting on Hojlund to break his duck at Fulham!

Maybe 7/7 is coming instead (haha).

Yeah, have to back Trofo here. Europe brings experience and competitiveness -- that's good for player development. But it's more the revenue from those that help a club grow in depth, to increase statistical likelihood to win, rather than on a few overperforming players.

Fatigue is real. Liverpool took their 2022 season all the way trying to win the quadruple and just lost out on Europe after extreme fatigue the next season. It wasn't the first time that happened to them, either.

Everton, a loose example of what non-Europe involvement can do for league stability -- never qualifying for Europe but finishing 6-8th place every season from 2010-2015... then they got 5th, and qualified for Europe.

The moment a thin squad had to compete in many more games, they dropped to 11th 2 seasons running, lost out of Europe, got in again, bit those two appearances just wiped off stability, they've been sliding down since -- because they didn't expand the way a club should. I think of Leeds the same way a decade before that.

On Women's Chmpions League, Aitana should get the Ballon d'Or tonight -- the first player to win every individual award possible in a single season. All due respect, but I never heard of her until tonight =D Ronaldinho didn't have a long career but won all world, continental and club titles he qualifies for (no one counts friendly cups like CWC right?).


United? Wrong. As you say, international glam and flavour of Prem League means almost every big club has done this. In fact, I thought Ferguson did it long before Wenger but had to look it up. I was right, but apparently, Chelsea holds that dubious honour by doing so in 1999 when Vialli took on Saints on Boxing Day.

Ferguson and Wenger made it a habit but speaking of Basque, Liverpool actually prefer to go a step further, not just ensuring English, but Scouse presence. Gerrard and Carragher generally ensured I watched every game with a Scouser present and Trent has taken over that mantle but there was a scandalous Merseyside derby the season after Gerrard left when no Scouser played.

Only weeks after that "sad" event, Klopp arrived... fast tracked local academy boys... including a Scouse wearing No. 66. I think there's a real difference when local boys play for their shirt =)
